Transitions between paragraphs should be smooth with appropriate use of linking words and phrases to ensure the reader can follow the development of ideas without confusion.
coherence cohesion
For a more developed essay, add an introduction and conclusion if they are missing; they are fundamental to structuring your argument effectively. The introduction sets the stage for what is to come, and the conclusion ties everything together, reinforcing your position.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
